Abstract
Coordinated specialty care (CSC) is the dominant model for early psychosis care in the United States, representing a proactive recovery-oriented approach to serious mental illness in its early stages. CSC involves broad multidisciplinary support for participants, including from psychologists in some CSC teams, encompassing educational and vocational support, medication management, psychotherapy, case management, peer support, and family interventions. CSC programs have proliferated in the last 20 years, leading to a quality-access dialectic, where increasing access to treatment simultaneously prompts concerns about care quality, particularly in the context of staffing shortages and funding limits. Evidence-based psychosocial treatment, including psychotherapy, is an integral part of CSC, yet workforce training deficits, workforce turnover, and CSC financing pose threats to intervention fidelity and thus CSC participants' ability to access high-quality care. We propose an enhanced role for psychologists as a way of resolving the quality-access dialectic in the area of psychosocial treatment, specifically evidence-based therapy. We describe the potential of psychologists' skills in clinical supervision, formulation, evidence-based interventions and measurement-based care, drawing on practice examples. After considering possible limitations, we outline implementation models, for example, drawing on Early Psychosis Intervention Network and Project Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes. We conclude with four recommendations: Psychologists should be placed in CSC team or network-leadership roles; psychological expertise should be made available to CSC teams for training, consultation, and technical assistance; psychological expertise should be used to address CSC implementation challenges; and research is needed to demonstrate psychologists' value to stakeholders.

Abstract
Duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) is a reliable predictor of longitudinal psychosis trajectory. The limited availability of specialized assessment needed for early identification contributes to a lengthy average DUP in the United States. This column outlines the development of the Central Assessment of Psychosis Service (CAPS), a novel tele-evaluation service that extends specialized expertise in screening and assessment of psychosis and psychosis risk to publicly funded early psychosis clinics. Preliminary implementation outcomes among the first five CAPS sites suggest that CAPS is acceptable, appropriate, and feasible to implement. Programmatic data collection is underway and will be reported at a future date.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early intervention programs are designed to address the needs of youths experiencing first-episode psychosis (FEP). Washington State developed New Journeys, a network of coordinated specialty care programs for FEP. In this study, the authors have outlined components of the New Journeys model and preliminary findings since its initial implementation. METHODS Youths and young adults diagnosed as having psychosis (N=112) completed measures at and after intake on a range of mental health assessments and functional outcomes for the first 12 months of treatment. Administrative data including state-funded emergency department and psychiatric hospitalizations were assessed 24 months before and after intake. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess change over time on multiple measures of mental health status. RESULTS Compared with their condition at intake, clients had significant decreases in symptoms of anxiety (β=-2.48, p<0.001), psychotic experiences (β=-3.37, p<0.05), and clinician-rated psychotic symptoms (β=-1.47, p<0.05) during treatment. Additionally, quality of life (β=-5.95, p<0.001) and school attendance (odds ratio=1.42, p<0.05) significantly improved during treatment. Administrative data indicated that postintake, clients were less likely to visit the emergency department for psychiatric reasons (β=0.22, p<0.05), utilize community psychiatric inpatient services (β=0.31, p<0.001), and utilize public assistance (β=0.71, p<0.05) compared with 24 months before intake. CONCLUSIONS New Journeys clients experienced improved clinical and functional outcomes during their first year of treatment, and rates of state-funded service utilization decreased during their treatment.
